Dead Space 1

hi i am runninng Win 7 on ASus N53SN, with GEforce gt550m with 2GB DDR3 VRAM, Intel® Core™ i5 2410M 2.3gh , 4GB Ram...

I installed dead space from a purchase of EA value games edition. install appears to have gone well and i have re installed multiple times using administrator rights and emulating vista and xp. also in Origin i redeemed the product and have it in my library.

No matter what emulation, video card settings and rights i use to run the game it always tries to load for about 15 secs then just gives up. When i tried in 600X800 forced mode the screen would go black for a second and windows delivered a log to microsoft.

Please help. i had the game originally on ipod but it hung after a certain level and i have been wanting to play ever since.

    Heya everyone,

    if you were affected by the "Invalid license. Reason code = Invalid Cipher (0x0006)" issue, can you please check the game in Origin again? A small patch should download and gameplay should now work again.

    If there are still issues afterwards, please uninstall the game completely, redownload it and then reinstall the game again. 

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Nils

    That game can be purchased here: https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/buy/dead-space/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition


    And again: only German/French. Why the hell is this game not available in all languages as it is the case with the Steam version? Why should I buy on Origin if the Steam version is so much better? Why should I buy on Origin If nobody answers even one of my damn questions?

    "It seems that the issue has not been resolved yet. I was gifted a key for Dead Space and at the activation I was forced to chose between German/French - English/Spanish/French - and some other language packages. There was no possibility to chose English/German. I speak German but I also like to hear the original language of a game which in this case would be English. Of course I chose German and there does not seem to be a way to change this now. On Steam you can chose between all languages every time - what is preventing origin to give the same opportunity? As it was already mentioned this game is neither censored nor banned in Germany so there is absolutely no logical reason why one should only be able to chose German/French or English/Spanish/French. If I'd be a French person I could play the game in the original language and in my native tongue but since I am from Germany I cannot? What can I do to play the game in German or English?"

    STILL NO ANSWER - WHAT A GREAT SUPPORT!

    I have bought the game on disk and have tried installing it via EA download manager, Origin and via the disk but i have a problem it just tells me "Failed to activate a security module required. You can not run this program (8016)." (but in swedish so the translation might not be perfect) if i could get some advice on the matter it would be nice.

    If you're running the new Skylake processor, you'll need to hit up your mobo manufacturer and get a bios update.

    You've got to be kidding. Because of a damn DRM protection (which does not help anything in the first place other that to scare away customers but some will never understand this) you'll have to update a mobo BIOS just to run a simple game? Ridiculous!

    I only think it is sad that the problem obviously is not related to the game but to a security measure to prevent play ... ähm ... copying the game. I have a few games I cannot play anymore because of the DRM even though I payed for them and nearly every copy protection measure is broken in a few days mostly even shortly before release. I wish publishers would see this. Just take a look at GOG.com they are proof that DRM-free does work but I don't think that EA will ever see this the way I see it.
